Definitely not for beginners.
If you are looking for "tricks" this is definitely not the place
for you, because this book is written with the serious performer in mind.
The effects you
will find inside rely on several methods and principles related to math, psychology and some simple
handlings. It appears very clear that there has been a lot of study, research and test behind this
work to make the effects as impromptu as possible.
The contributions look like going in
the same direction of the author and the book has undoubtedly something for the taste of any
performer.
Andreu encourages the reader to use the effects not just for fooling an audience
but to build strong moments of connection with the participants.
There are many great
ideas here, so I think that 100 bucks or something more is the right price for the book as at a
first glance is soon visible the amount of work spent to build each effect.
Andreu gives
many suggestions on presentations and covers many aspects: the instructions are very clear and here
you will find true miracles for any settings, one-to-one as well as stage.
My favorite
routine is "Hailed Nostrum": a very clever approach to "which hand" that does not relies (if you
choose so) on the usual truth /liar teller plot and becomes a perfect example on giving readings to
the participant related on some simple choices.
Well done Andreu!
impromptu and impressive
